Hola Sipei, lamento que hasta ahora no haya funcionado nada, pero citando tus propias palabras voy a acotar aquí algunas reflexiones y consideraciones como un humilde aporte y opinión al respecto. No me rindo, me gusta mucho el BB y tengo mucho trabajo terminado con BB y ahora no puedo trabajar nada. Se te ocurre algo.? Como mencionas, y es comprensible, la perspectiva de tener que empezar desde cero a reinstalar aplicaciones, programas, plugins y hardwares no es muy alentadora. Sin embargo ya es tu decisión tomar ese paso, ya que basado en tus iniciales palabras fué fácil deducir la gran importancia que para ti tiene el asunto dada la cantidad de tus trabajos realizados con Band-in-a-Box, y ello es motivo suficiente para nosotros como equipo de soporte, para tratar de buscar una solución a un problema por muy difícil que este parezca. Además queda claro que Band-in-a-Box si ha logrado funcionar en tu sistema y que la falla se ha presentado por factores ajenos al programa y relativos al sistema operativo mismo en una instalación particular, ya que es en la misma maquina donde se han presentado ambos casos. Por lo que finalmente lo que hagas o intentes con respecto a una instalación desde cero o no, ya será de acuerdo al orden de tus prioridades, lo cual respetamos absolutamente. En lo que puedas por favor, hazme saber los datos que te pedi con respecto al tipo de y version de Windows. Existe también una aplicacion bastante conocida, llamada EVEREST, la cuál permite realizar y presentar informa profundo del sistema que lo incluye todo. Si lo llegarás a instalar, hazme llegar un informa, ya que conozco como intepretar los resultados y datos emitidos por dicho programa, sirviendo asi como facilitador para un diagnóstico, en muchos casos. Como dije voy a aprovechar de plasmar aquí algunas impresiones y reflexiones con respecto a mi experiencia por décadas trabajando con todo tipo de sistemas operativos y como testigo de la evolución (a veces involución) en este campo de la informática, especialmente aplicada a la música y el audio. A continuación copio y pego una publicación que realicé en un conocido foro de audio hace dos años con la esperanza de que te sirva de referencia igualmente a ti como lo fue para otros: ¿EXISTE UN SISTEMA OPERATIVO PERFECTO PARA AUDIO? En mi experiencia con Windows (desde Windows 95, pasando por Win 98, NT, XP, Vista, Server, Windows 7 y más recientes, siempre se ha mantenido una constante muy particular, dichos sistemas, incluyendo Win7 que nos atañe ahora directamente, tienden EN ALGUNOS CASOS, NO SIEMPRE, a alterar su rendimiento negativamente con el paso del tiempo, muchísimos usuarios han reportado fallas imprevisibles y repentinas en sus sistemas, sobre todo luego de un buen tiempo de uso y al mismo tiempo de la instalación, a veces excesiva, de todo tipo de aplicaciones y programas. Desde los Anti-virus, los cuales son imprescindibles, hasta aplicaciones de todo tipo, como manejadores de red, tarjetas telefónicas, módems, interfaces MIDI, programas de limpieza, bases de datos, Office, Anti-Spam, navegadores y quien sabe cuántas cosas más, son muchas veces instaladas indiscriminadamente en sistemas de los cuales se pretende obtener un “rendimiento profesional” en áreas de delicado equilibrio como son el audio, la creación musical, video producción etc y diseño gráfico, convirtiendo nuestras PCs en verdaderos “laboratorios de experimentación” cuando en realidad lo que estamos propiciando son “campos minados”.
Por supuesto no estoy afirmando que esto sea el caso de todos uds. estimados foreros, sino solo tratando de emitir un consejo y al mismo tiempo una advertencia para evitar y minimizar esta especie de “corrupción de sistema” que parece ocurrir con el paso del tiempo y con la instalación, a veces indiscriminada de abundantes aplicaciones. NO HAY sistema operativo que resista eso por mucho tiempo, y a la larga, se verán las consecuencias.
Los profesionales, como en mi caso, ¡y esto puede hacerlo cualquiera! optamos por tener instalados sistemas limpios y estrictamente delimitados a las funciones y aplicaciones que esperamos desempeñar en ellos, en mi caso particular tengo una PC con 4 discos duros, dos de los cuales están dedicados a sistemas operativos con diferentes finalidades cada uno, siendo el principal dedicado exclusivamente a mis aplicaciones principales de audio y música, y en otro disco duro mantengo un sistema en el cual realizo otras actividades, como la navegación por internet, trabajos gráficos y administrativos , e incluso experimentación.
Al mismo tiempo mantengo en mi sistema principal una saludable y CONSTANTE rutina de respaldo, de manera tal de poder rescatar un sistema de las garras de algún ataque accidental de virus o de los síntomas de corrupción causados por X factores no identificados. Entre ellas tengo una aplicación pequeña llamada WINRESCUE (para XP y 7) que ha sido una maravilla, ya que de forma simple y práctica me retoma el sistema a un punto de restauración basado en el registro y archivos esenciales.
Mi recomendación final es la de reconsiderar siempre que debemos instalar y que no, basados en las nuestras necesidades reales, y optar por mantener nuestros sistemas operativos lo más descongestionados posible, unido a una agenda de limpieza y depuración del mismo, actualizaciones al día y siempre y cuando sean estrictamente necesarias. Igualmente es recomendable dispones de un disco duro por separado para las librerías de audio y para la grabación, edición y resguardo de la información de audio y otro disco duro exclusivamente dedicado al sistema operativo , programas y aplicaciones convencionales.
Por favor mantennos al tanto de la situación, y no dudes en publicar cualquier pregunta al respecto o en cualquier otra situacion o problema que tengas. Saludos cordiales, Carlos PG Music

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
